IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE BURNSIDE HIGH SCHOOL CLOSING TOMORROW AND FRIDAY

March 19, 2024

Dear Parents/Caregivers/Wh膩nau聽

I am writing to let you know that two of 澳门六合彩开奖网s鈥 classroom blocks, I and J block, will close after the school鈥檚 board received draft detailed seismic assessments revealing that both buildings are below the minimum level of earthquake rating required under the New Build Standard (NBS).

Consequently, the whole school will close tomorrow Thursday March 21 and Friday March 22 to allow time to reconfigure the school and then reopen on Monday March 25 with new timetables and teaching locations. Our staff have been busy working on the accommodation plan for our students given I and J block consist of 24 classrooms 鈥 nearly a quarter of our teaching spaces.

We appreciate that this is very short notice and will be disruptive for some families. Please accept our apologies for this. The school鈥檚 priority is the safety of our students and staff.

Please find attached a Parents/Caregiver/ Wh膩nau Information Update.

Should you require any further information or have any questions please contact principal@burnside.school.nz.

Again, apologies for the very short notice we have given you. These are extraordinary circumstances.

Warm regards

Scott Haines

Principal/Tumuaki
